why did clottey refuse to let his hands go??

[..David..]

I honestly think he was waiting for manny to get tired and stop throwing so much and so hard.

IMO its really incredible that manny can throw like that for 12 rounds

Here's why:

[S H O B O X]

He was scared of Pac's power. Knowing that Pac had the kind of speed to land unseen punches on you; Clottey didn't want to take the risk of getting caught. Clottey's handspeed is good, he could have given MUCH more trouble to Pacquiao but it'd have been very risky. Cotto took the risk and got knocked down two times in the process.

The real reason is that Clottey absolutely didn't want to look bad and "lose like the others". When i heard him saying that in the interviews, i knew what was gonna happen.

i agree with this . Clottey respected pac's power and angles and wasn't to keen to let him test it , clottey even did the chicken dance after a pacquiao hook

Here's why:

I was waiting for him to cast a voodoo spell on me.

[GT-R]

cause when he did he had alot of success and was landing flush shots.....

hes focused more on staying up the whole 12 cuz he took more pride on not getting KOd or Dd. if he slugged it out with pac, hell be open, hell get caught and he will go down.

I dont remember either man being hurt.

he was taunting pac but clearly, he was feeling pacs power.

not once he did the head shake.

and looked like hes only entering round 3.

Had Clottey just opened himself a litlle bit...he would have been knocked down. Or perhaps KOed.

You could ask this question about ANY Clottey fight. That's just the way he is. At least he didn't try to headbutt his way out of the fight.
